Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

OK we all know what a merry-go-round audio can be. For those of us who are incessant upgraders, what components have you found that either have stopped or seriously curtailed your search for better?

For me its my Audio Tekne Cables and my vintage Classe DR3 amps (25 wpc high current class A design designed by Dave Reisch in the early days of the company). My Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3s would probably fall into this category, but I would probably buy the next statement models that Roy Johnson builds sight unheard.

Sunglasses........but they have to come off sometimes. That is when the light hit you in the face, Then you are blinded for a while and trip over your new huge amps or cables.

Gain skill in TT building and design made me stop looking at any turntables out there.

Dodd audio made me stop looking at preamps.

Consonance Cyber 800 modify by Bob Backert stop me from searching for new tube power amp.

AAD 2001 monitors end the search for small speakers for second system. As well as RWA amp to go with it.

I am still looking for better speakers (for the $$$$) then Vandersteen Quatro. No luck so far.

Yep, there is significant growth and demand for American products for that very reason. My latest purchases are 100% made in USA.....and most from smaller companies, which are easier to deal with, more flexible, very helpful and offer excellent quality products at very attractive prices.
